DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to reduce the size of the device in the prior art, the meter reading is performed by using an inclined mirror to reflect the dial value. Although this method reduces the size of the meter reading device, it affects other effects of the device. Since some dials are left still for a long time, dust is easily accumulated on the dials. The dust covering the dials affects the clarity of the camera shooting, which easily causes inaccurate meter reading values. Therefore, after research, a camera remote meter reading device with a dial cleaning structure is provided. When in use, the camera is moved to the meter reading hole by a mobile frame, and the data on the dial is photographed by the camera to realize remote meter reading. At the same time, the circular cover is moved by a mobile rod. When the two circular covers are close to each other, the surface of the dial is cleaned by a brush. After the two circular covers are attached, the dial is sealed to prevent dust from falling on the dial and affecting the clarity of the camera shooting, thereby solving the above defects.

[0031] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 8 The embodiment of the utility model provides a camera remote meter reading device with a dial cleaning structure, including a top plate 1, both sides of the top plate 1 are connected with a fixing mechanism 2, the fixing mechanism 2 is fixed on the pipeline, so that the top plate 1 is located on the upper side of the dial.

[0033] Among them, the fixing mechanism 2 includes a fixing block 21 located on one side of the top plate 1, and fixing rods 23 are hinged on both sides of the fixing block 21. A screw rod 26 is rotatably connected to the center of the fixing block 21, and one end of the screw rod 26 is threadedly connected to the movable plate 22. Connecting rods 24 are hinged on both sides of the movable plate 22, and the other side of the connecting rod 24 is hinged to the fixing rod 23. When the screw rod 26 is rotated, the movable plate 22 is prompted to move with the two connecting rods 24, so that the connecting rod 24 brings the fixing rod 23 closer.

[0034] Since an arc-shaped fixing sleeve 25 is provided at one end of the fixing rod 23, when the two fixing rods 23 are close to each other, the two fixing sleeves 25 are clamped on the pipe.

[0035] In order to facilitate meter reading, a meter reading hole 13 is opened on the surface of the top plate 1, and a second slide groove 12 is opened on the upper side of the top plate 1. A movable frame 3 is slidably arranged in the second slide groove 12, and a camera 31 is installed at the lower end of the movable frame 3. After the movable frame 3 moves the camera 31 to the upper side of the meter reading hole 13, the camera 31 takes a picture of the value on the dial.

[0036] In order to enable the moving frame 3 to move automatically, a moving screw rod 61 is rotatably arranged in the second sliding groove 12 . The moving screw rod 61 is threadedly connected to the lower side of the moving frame 3 . The moving frame 3 can slide automatically by rotating the moving screw rod 61 .

[0037] In addition, a dustproof plate 5 is provided at one end of the second chute 12 away from the meter reading hole 13. When the meter is not read, the camera 31 can be moved to the lower side of the dustproof plate 5 to prevent dust.

[0038] In order to clean the dial and improve the clarity of meter reading, first slide grooves 11 are opened near both sides of the top plate 1. Two groups of cleaning members slide in the first slide grooves 11. When the two groups of cleaning members are close to each other, the surface of the dial is cleaned.

[0039] The cleaning member includes a moving rod 4 slidably connected to the first slide groove 11, an annular cover 41 is provided on the lower side of the moving rod 4, and a brush 42 is provided inside the annular cover 41. When the two moving rods 4 with the annular covers 41 approach each other, the brush 42 cleans the dust on the upper side of the dial, and after the two annular covers 41 are fitted together, the dial can be sealed to play a dust-proof role.

[0040] It is worth noting that a bidirectional screw rod 6 is rotatably arranged in the first slide groove 11 , and the bidirectional screw rod 6 is threadedly connected to the two moving rods 4 . The rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 6 can cause the moving rods 4 to move automatically.

[0041] In order to keep the annular cover 41 away from the dial when the camera 31 takes a picture of the dial, one end of the movable lead screw 61 and the bidirectional lead screw 6 are respectively connected to two transmission gears 62, and a double-headed gear 63 is rotatably provided on one side of the top plate 1. The two ends of the double-headed gear 63 are respectively meshed with the two transmission gears 62, and the double-headed gear 63 is driven by a micro motor. When the double-headed gear 63 rotates, the movable lead screw 61 and the bidirectional lead screw 6 are driven to rotate, thereby causing the movable rod 4 and the movable frame 3 to move in the opposite direction.

[0042] In summary, the working principle of the camera remote meter reading device with a dial cleaning structure in the embodiment of the utility model is: when reading the meter, the double-headed gear 63 is driven to rotate by a micro motor, so that the bidirectional screw rod 6 rotates, prompting the two moving rods 4 to move in opposite directions, so that the annular cover 41 is away from the dial, and the brush 42 cleans the dial. At the same time, the rotation of the moving screw rod 61 causes the moving frame 3 to move with the camera 31 to the meter reading hole 13 to realize remote meter reading.

[0043] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
